hi guys
I bought a m42 speed booster from ebay. this one here ;
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/262473023050?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I paired it with a helios 44-2 and a cosinon 55/1.4
At wide apertures, it is incredibly hazy and washed out It works ok from f/4 onwards.
I'd basically say it's a waste of money. When I put the lenses on the camera with a simple adapter, the lenses jump to life and for example the cosinon which was basically unusable on the speed booster is actually really good at f/1.x
So, is there any way to get these lenses speed boosted with decent quality on the X mount? I was thinking maybe getting a nikon or canon speed booster from metabones and then using an adapter to get it connected to that speed booster.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
cheers
